  4. Poppy nods, 'Small children often don't too kindly to change. So what happened then Dex?' Itsmeagain trips over one of the small creatures and it lets out a yelp. He picks it up and gives it a pat.
  5. 1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? 2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? 3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ? 4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday? 5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! If you get even one of these you've done better than me!
  6. My thinking was similar Nollaig. The assassin is the prime cuprit, he was the murderer, she would still be alive if it wasn't for him. The wife secondly because she chose to cross the river and take the risk of being murdered. She could have stayed safe on the other side even if it meant her husband finding out she was being unfaithful. The lover thirdly because he had a responsibilty to help her (I think anyway). Fourthly the boatman, she told him of her predicament but he chose not to help. And I don't think the husband is responsible at all because it's not clear if he's even aware that his wife is unfaithful while he is away. And as you say, Nollaig, it's not his responsibilty to ensure his wife is faithful by taking her with him everywhere. But even without the attached meanings, it's very interesting how people see the responsibilty quite differently and the reasoning behind their answers. (You're not trying to psychoanalyse us here Bree, are you ???? )
  7. Monday Monday ~ The Mamas and the Papas
  8. Itsmeagain and Poppy shake their heads. "You'll have to tell us more Dex, we don't know that story. It'll help pass the time, it's a long way to the Wizard's castle."

  16. Beautiful harmony and lovely voices Muggles
  17. Granted. But you can't stop thinking about it and you become as thin as a whippet with leg muscles like cast iron. I wish I had a photographic memory.
  18. Granted. But monkeys need tails to swing through the trees so you have to grow one. I wish I could find Wally (or Waldo as he is in some countries) Most definitely!! I'll come and visit you (did you know that Hobbiton, the film set, is a permanent place you can visit? It's not far from where I used to live)
  19. Granted. But you won't be able to stop (your brakes don't work ) and you'll have to do everything on the run. I wish I was wise. (NO, bree, I didn't know!! You are a wealth of knowledge ....how did you know that?? Maybe that's why I have such an affection for Bilbo (if I've got it right he's my second cousin) I'm a Chubb-Baggins. I'm SO glad I'm not a Sackville-Baggins!! )
